Now that's how you do it. "Citizen, we know who you are, we know where you are, and we know what you are doing. Stop the 'protest' now, we will be by to arrest you later." Put the whiners in their place and let them know who is in charge.

A friend of mine is deciding whether to head back to Ukraine and help his fellow countrymen. He has a good life in New York. Married with two kids and lives in the East Village. He's also 44, overweight and smokes like a chimney. I don't know how much help he'll be, but I do feel for him.

Isn't Mila Kunis Ukrainian too? I bet she could help too. And she probably looks sexy throwing molotov cocktails.

I can't believe the NYTimes reported this. Someone may get fired over there.

They don't seem too concerned the Ukraine has banned public assembly and public protest. The Times seems more interested in describing how many ski masks the protesters are wearing and how many gasoline bombs they were throwing.
